Kill Bill Opening.

In the opening scene it starts with a black screen, the darkness creates mystery as we cant see whats going to happen. The sentence 'Revenge is a dish best served cold'. appears in white, a contrasting colour to stand out. Straight away it tells us the film is about revenge. The dictionary definition for the word revenge is the retaliation for injuries or wrongs. This is typical of crime films such as Kill Bill where violence is the main theme.
The first sounds we hear are a woman panting and crying, she sounds in pain. The black screen then fades and focus's on the womans face. Shes lying on the floor covered in blood and cuts. The camera moves down slightly and shows her wearing a wedding dress. This leaves us with lots of questions. Who is she? What has happened? Why has it happened? and Whos done this? These are enigma codes. They are small clues which keep the viewer guessing and wanting to watch on. The next thing we hear are footsteps. The camera moves quickly to show someones boots, the boots have a small heel so at this point the gender of the person is unknown. The boots walk across the floor for a few seconds to create suspense. This is an action code, it shows us that somethings going to happen. A male voice then speaks over the womans wimpers. Were left asking more questions. Who is he? and Has he done this to her? The camera focus's back on the womans face as the man wipes the blood off her face with a hanky. On the hanky is the name Bill. At that point were given the clue that this is Bill and hes the bad guy as the title of the film is 'Kill Bill'. The scene ends with the woman speaking her only sentence 'Its your baby Bill' leaving us wanting to watch on to find out more.
